Step 2: Pre-Treatment Visual Field test at local eye clinic (10 minute walk from Able Acupuncture), as well as far and near visual acuity tests to establish baseline.

Step 3:Therapy consists of Three 30-minute micro-acupuncture treatment sessions per day based on your specific eye condition and schedule. Electro-acupuncture, scalp acupuncture and other therapies may also be incorporated.

Note:The recommended micro acupuncture treatment protocol is 10 – 15 treatments per treatment cycle (most MD and RP patients are advised to repeat these treatment cycles every four to six months).
